Once again you have hit it out of the park, Phyllis! For all those fawning over this peanut farmer whose family were paid off by the Wahabist Saudis, beginning with his idiot brother- read your history! The oil embargo, the hostages in Iran, the complicity of the U.S. in deposing the Shah- this man almost single handedly destroyed America. He was a dangerous, uneducated piece of work. His one achievement? He lived to 100. Big deal. Bye bye Jimmy. Take your bastardized Democratic Party with you: Jew haters par excellence! Am Yisrael Chai!
One of my favorite scholars of the Gospels, Amy-Jill Levine, is Jewish, but better schooled about Jesus than many Christian theologians. Her starting point is that we can easily read the New Testament as NOT hostile to Jews, so why do some do so? Knock it off. Jimmy Carter so loved blood-libeling the Jewish State, he put it in the title of his book and never backed down: Apartheid. Wrapping himself in the cloak of a saintly man never stifled the stench of Jew-hate that wafted from him. He was the model for other self-styled civil rights advocates who hate Israel. I am not made better by hating him, but I can’t forgive that he wore his bigotry to his grave, never confessing his sin.
I've been so annoyed at what I hear on conservative talk radio...lousy president, but OH what a decent man...out there hammering those nails post precidency....so annoyed that I thought about calling in ....something I've Never done.....to say screw that shyte.....he helped make the the "context" for the tsunami of Jew Hate possible this past year...he owed the Jewish people and the Israeli people in particular an apology....so what if he was 99....99 year old commandants at the death camps were prosecuted...I voted for this guy twice.....when I was so happy to get rid of the Republicans....and I went out to have a drink or two the nearest gay bar when Regan was first elected....and I hate him too for his indifference to the HIV epidemic....he and that wife of his....just say no nancy. So I'm to be sure full of bile this AM and had to censor myself from using the vularities I'd like to use.....glad you're more eloquent than I am.....
Once again you are so right, Jimmy Carter was subconsciously an antisemite. He was not an evil man but was a product of the deep white southern gentleman culture. He overcame his racism but never questioned his hidden antisemitism. And like many naive political leaders he believed that the ruthless leaders of the PLO, Hamas, Syria, were men of honest character.
Brilliant and accurate goodbye to a failed US president who went to his grave as a hater of the one democratic ally has in the Middle East. I for one am not shedding any tears
Yes ofc he was! He was also a traitor who never met an Islamist terrorist he didn’t like. He ushered in the IRGC mullahs. Appeasing evil. The architect of the “apartheid” lies to demonize Israel and Jews everywhere. Puppet for the Saudis, he made billions doing their bidding
Writing and posting this ^piece, Doc Chesler, are courageous acts.
For many years, I have judged Jimmy Carter to be an embittered antisemite.
The encomia that many people now heap on his memory should not mask the major stains on his presidential legacy--notably 1) the emergence of The Islamic Republic of Iran (including the hostage crisis); 2) the creation of The Department of Education; and 3) post-presidentially, the undying--and uncritical--favor that he demonstrated toward Hamas.
This was a terrific piece. It's sickening how the MSM, including Fox, is celebrating his presidency. Aren't there journalists who lived through the horror show? Phyllis, he pressured Begin to give the whole Sinai and Yamit, which Israelis built as a defense against Egyptian aggression. It was in the Phildelphi corrider. Researching my book Love and Betrayal I learned He LOVED Arafat and once put a pillow under his head on a plane trip.

Okay Josh, you sound pretty cool to me....."I'm not made better...." some people are due the hate we have for them.

How are you? Where are you geographically and in terms of publishing?
Carter was sanctimonious just like Obama, no humility in site, a failing not too far behind and the left hand of violence.

We know so little regarding whom we vote for.
Excellent.
